VIDEO: Gun violence prevention has always been a topic of much discussion in Chicago, but this time it hit particularly close to home as an FSM News South alumni, Jessica Finnister, was recently shot and killed (donations can be made to her family through the GoFundMe page). We created this video in honor of our loved ones who have been lost.

I was recently given the opportunity through Free Spirit Media and Media Process Group to travel abroad to Spain and assist in the creation of a reenactment documentary based on the Baha’i faith and the story of the “BAB”.
